KJV ORIGINAL
This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
This whole thing is happening because the heavenly messengers decided it, and the holy ones demanded it. Here's why: so everyone who's alive can see that God is actually the one running the show when it comes to human kingdoms. He gives power to whoever he wants — and sometimes he puts the most unlikely, humble people in charge.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
God's the real CEO of every kingdom, and he loves promoting the underdogs.
